Therefore, it is essential to first understand the main functions and design concepts of Ruins-0, mastering everything until it becomes second nature before proceeding with any modifications.
Here, the basic skills and proficiency of a Mechanical Assembler can be particularly highlighted. A low-level Mechanical Assembler can only copy the original design, disassemble it, and reassemble it, at most making minor repairs and adjustments.
A slightly more skilled Mechanical Assembler can identify the main structure of Ruins-0 and address its shortcomings, improving certain specific parts to enhance operational efficiency, such as increasing energy utilization or energy reserves, akin to applying patches.
As for a higher-level Mechanical Assembler, they would dare to make bold modifications during assembly. The results often achieve a remarkable effect of reduced size while maintaining performance.
Legendary modification masters can even transform a ten-meter tall Ruins-0 into a Pug-sized machine while keeping or even enhancing its performance. This level of craftsmanship is truly extraordinary.
Lin Yuan naturally does not believe he can compare himself to those legendary masters, but he is not entirely without confidence. He has a background in assembling Energy Engines and is quite adept in this field, with extensive experience. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to successfully assemble an e+ Energy Engine through his own exploration.
Moreover, there is one crucial advantage: this Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter is an original model!
Why has a Battle Machine developed over twenty thousand Mechanical Years ago remained popular and praised throughout such a long time, earning its rightful place as the Tyrannosaurus Rex among mid-range Battle Machines in Mechanical City?
Is it due to the outstanding performance of the Pterosaur H-? Is it because the Pterosaur H- is sufficiently classic? Or does the Pterosaur H- possess some indescribable charm?
None of these are the primary reasons. The reason why the Pterosaur H- has endured for two thousand Mechanical Years can be summed up in four words: economical and practical. To put it more bluntly, it’s big, strong, and simple!
Just like the AK-47 once was on Earth, this is the truth.
Are there firearms that are stronger and more perfect than the AK-47? The answer is yes, many!
Are there Battle Machines with capabilities surpassing those of the Pterosaur H-? Again, yes—many exist. Even within the mid-range Battle Machine market of Mechanical City, there are numerous models that outperform the Pterosaur H-, as Mechanical City boasts extremely high technological standards where innovations emerge daily.
Yet, the Pterosaur H- remains the most widely accepted model.
This is because its foundation is very low; even its core Energy Engine only has a d7+ rating, which is exceptionally low—so low that even Lin Yuan, a novice Mechanical Assembler, dares to tinker with it!
If Lin Yuan were given a Falcon-1 Battle Machine—a mid-range model slightly superior to the Pterosaur H-—he wouldn’t have the same confidence to take action. The reason lies in the fact that although its performance is comparable to that of the Pterosaur H-, its Energy Engine boasts a rating of 1+.
**The evaluation of 1+ is that this is Naked Spring Snow, featuring the naked rich and handsome, and the beautiful elite. If it’s not at the master level of Mechanical Assembly, who would dare to take action?**
**In contrast, Pterosaur H-, which only has a d7+ rating for its Energy Engine, has garnered such enthusiastic and lasting support, making it easy to understand why.**
**However, the official production of the original version of Pterosaur H- Battle Machine ceased over ten thousand Mechanical Years ago. Therefore, all the Pterosaur H- models available on the market today are modified versions, diverse and dazzling, making them arguably the largest collection of knockoff models in history.**
**Among these modified versions, regardless of their performance level, if they were handed over to Lin Yuan for modification, he still wouldn’t have the confidence.**
**This is because each modified version of Pterosaur H- inevitably has backdoors left by their respective Mechanical Assemblers. Thus, unless one is a more advanced Mechanical Assembler, anyone else attempting to modify them would find it as elusive as seeing flowers in the fog or the moon in water—impossible to grasp.**
**This also explains why the original version of Pterosaur H- Battle Machine has nearly vanished; no one is willing to buy it, nor can anyone find it.**
**This is similarly why that guy, Crimson Fox, dared to take risks, attempting to eliminate everyone and monopolize the Pterosaur H- Remains.**
**This thing is akin to a great elixir; consuming it not only significantly boosts one’s cultivation but also has no toxins or side effects—truly the best companion for home travel or even committing murder.**
**After Lin Yuan had grasped the basic modification concepts within Intellect, more than ten hours had already passed.**
**“Claire, still no sign of Hal or Bison?” The first thing that came to Lin Yuan’s mind was this matter. While he was fully focused on tackling Ruins-0, he had entrusted Auditory Radar to Claire.**
**“I’m sorry, sir. There are no signs of return from Hal and Bison. Perhaps they have ventured further afield,” Claire replied sincerely.**
**Lin Yuan didn’t say much more. Several days had passed; since Hal and Bison hadn’t returned, it meant they had found nothing. However, this also indicated that their chances of encountering danger had increased significantly. Time was running out for him, and he couldn’t leave this place to search for them.**
**With a sigh in his heart, Lin Yuan stopped dwelling on it and strode up to the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter. He commanded Claire to activate the Five-Dimensional Key Space, bringing this Battle Machine into it. It’s worth mentioning that this process also consumes energy, but not excessively; for this particular model of Pterosaur H-, about one hundred units of Standard Energy would be required—a cost that Lin Yuan could still afford.**
**Once inside the Five-Dimensional Key Space, time flows at a rate of three to one—an excellent advantage. Once Lin Yuan begins modifying the entire Pterosaur H-, it won’t be something that can be completed in just a few days; it might take several months or even years!**
**Thus, Lin Yuan regretted not having insisted on keeping them with him when Hal and Bison left earlier. As long as they hid in this Five-Dimensional Key Space, unless extremely precise detection instruments appeared nearby, their presence would remain undetected.**
**However, now, Lin Yuan could no longer wait here for Hal and Bison.**
Then, Lin Yuan sent Thomas and Fat Three's Life Pod into the Five-Dimensional Key Space.
"Claire, is it possible to contact the outside world from the Five-Dimensional Key Space, or can you sense whether Hal and Bison are returning?"
"Sir, I'm afraid that's not possible. If that were the case, it would essentially mean leaking the coordinates of our location in the Five-Dimensional Key Space. Once we all enter the Five-Dimensional Key Space, the safest method is to cut off all connections with the outside world."
"I understand."
Lin Yuan said nothing more and directly entered the Five-Dimensional Key Space, beginning to officially assemble the entire Third Combat Form there.
Only here could he assemble freely and boldly without worrying about the passage of time or external threats.
The first thing Lin Yuan needed to do was completely disassemble the Pterosaur H-. He had done this before, so it was second nature to him now. Without any obstacles, this battle machine, which was hundreds of meters long, quickly transformed into countless parts scattered around.
Among these parts, Lin Yuan specifically singled out the Main Energy Engine, Ruins-0.
This was the most challenging aspect of the entire assembly process. However, at this moment, Lin Yuan felt no pressure; he simply operated like a machine, conducting cold data tests and model simulations. Each Mechanical Part was regenerated with data and underwent storage analysis testing.
Moreover, during this assembly and disassembly process, Lin Yuan employed a method he had never used before: memory reverse inference. This essentially meant analyzing the process from the result and then continuing to infer back to the initial start from that process.
It sounded simple—just reverse thinking—but in practice, it became very complex when applied to Mechanical Assembly. Previously, Lin Yuan preferred to analyze one part at a time.
Now, however, he needed to analyze an entire component as a whole. This introduced countless possibilities. For instance, with Ruins-0, Lin Yuan had to reverse analyze what thought process the Ruins Master had used back then. Why did they design it this way? What were their intentions? What were the benefits? What were the drawbacks? Could there be better alternatives? In different environments, what advantages and disadvantages would such a design have?
And so on!
Such a complex memory reverse inference demanded a high level of intellect. Fortunately, Lin Yuan's Intelligence Level had reached Level 17. Additionally, Claire's control over the A180 Punisher System could help share some of that pressure; otherwise, just this reasoning operation would lead to a complete breakdown.
Ultimately, this overall memory reverse inference would transform into one segment after another. Lin Yuan would select and compare within these segments, making more reasonable judgments based on his intuition and experience.
This entire process would take a considerable amount of time.
In fact, it was just as described. When Lin Yuan initiated the reverse memory deduction and began to open up, organize, and reshape all the details of Ruins-0, it took him a full three months, equivalent to one month in reality.
Without a moment's rest, the results were remarkable; Lin Yuan finally confirmed the final assembly plan!
According to his assembly plan, Ruins-0 was far too massive. With the maximum load capacity of his Mechanical Body, he could only accommodate no more than 0 kilograms of Energy Engine. After all, he still needed to assemble other mechanical components, which involved whether his Intellect could keep pace and the Civic Induction Transmission Rate.
However, the several tons of Ruins-0 had been reduced to five hundred kilograms, which undoubtedly meant a significant decrease in performance. Lin Yuan aimed for a reduction to one-fiftieth of its original weight. If he achieved this, the overall performance of his Third Combat Form would be consistent with that of the complete Pterosaur H-.
After all, the complete Ruins-0 needed to drive a massive structure several hundred meters long and weighing thousands of tons. Given the limited size of Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body, using an excessively powerful Energy Engine would be wasteful.
Of course, if Wakayama Yuan were currently an e7 level Mechanical Warrior, he would dare to reduce Ruins-0 to one-tenth.
After determining the final specifications for the Energy Engine, Lin Yuan decided to completely abandon the original e+ Energy Engine. His current Mechanical Body had a total of six e+ Energy Engines. Although they were well-connected in parallel, they were still part of a modular system, which diminished their effectiveness. Additionally, this required extra Energy Conversion Generators. Therefore, this time, replacing it with a scaled-down version of Ruins-0 theoretically simplified Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body by eliminating many unnecessary components.
Moreover, Lin Yuan decided to temporarily abandon his Second Combat Form. It wasn't that this Second Form had lost its utility; rather, at this moment, his Intellect and Civic Induction Transmission Rate couldn't support too many Mechanical Bodies. With new arrivals, some had to be phased out.
In addition to that, two Shoulder-Mounted Energy Cannons were eliminated, a Backpack Rocket Launcher was also discarded outright, two Energy Conversion Generators were removed, two Energy Shields were eliminated, two Dual Wing Physical Shields were discarded, two Tracked Heavy Stabilizing Wheel Assemblies were removed, and both the Third Mechanical Arm and Fourth Mechanical Arm needed redesigning. The two Mechanical Legs also required changes—overall, it was a major overhaul.
The only components retained were two Light Rod Mechanical Legs, four Mechanical Arms, and one Waist Rotation Core—these core parts remained.
Once the overall assembly plan was finalized, Lin Yuan immediately got to work. He first dismantled all the obsolete mechanical parts from his body and then began assembling Ruins-0 piece by piece onto his Mechanical Body.
This was yet another challenge; in the past, Lin Yuan always installed the Energy Engine first before attaching it to the Mechanical Body.
However, this time around, the scaled-down version of Ruins-0 weighed five hundred kilograms; thus, he couldn't follow his previous method.
Additionally, this time Lin Yuan placed the scaled-down version of Ruins-0 at the forefront to perfectly cover the Waist Rotation Core. The final assembly resulted in a semi-circular overall shape.
There was one crucial detail here: the bi-directional eighteen-channel passageway of Ruins-0. These eighteen channels were vital as they originally connected all important nodes of Pterosaur H- to provide rapid energy support.
This time around, Lin Yuan directly connected four of these sub-channels to the Waist Rotation Core. This meant that the Waist Rotation Core could achieve maximum Energy Output to maintain balance within the entire Mechanical Body during high-speed movement because in his assembly plan, this Waist Rotation Core served as the main hub connecting with the Third Mechanical Body.
As for the remaining fourteen auxiliary channels, each serves a specific purpose. Among them, eight channels are directly connected to the Third Combat Form. If rapid speed is required, energy support can be quickly drawn from the four auxiliary channels of the Waist Rotation Core.
Additionally, the Intelligence Matrix and Auditory Radar require two auxiliary channels, while Claire's intelligent program is allocated a separate channel. The final three auxiliary channels are designated for maintaining the Energy Shield and Energy Weapon System.
The assembly of this Energy Engine took Lin Yuan twenty days. This was primarily because the Ruins-0 is far more intricate compared to the e+ Energy Engine. To ensure that every aspect functions flawlessly, he had to approach it with care.
However, once the Energy Engine was completed, the subsequent steps became much simpler. Lin Yuan didn't even need to modify most of the Pterosaur H- Mechanical Parts, as they were unnecessary. His Mechanical Body currently had a maximum height capacity of only fifteen meters and a maximum weight capacity of twenty tons. With a simple assembly, he could immediately soar into space.
Yet, Lin Yuan did not treat this process carelessly; that was not his style. After extensive simulation research, he finalized the assembly plan.
First, the initial part involved connecting the power transmission System to the Energy Engine, which directly linked to his Waist Rotation Core.
Next was the second part: the folding wings. For this section, Lin Yuan adopted the original concept of the Dual Wing Shield, segmenting the massive wings into several parts. When not in use—specifically in First Form—the wings would completely fold away. Once transformed into Third Combat Form, they would rapidly unfold.
These wings feature five modes, corresponding to five pairs labeled a1 through a5, each distinct from one another. The a1 wing serves as the main wing, responsible for balance and aerodynamic efficiency. Each individual wing measures eighteen meters in length and eight meters at its widest point, divided into twelve segments that can quickly deploy independently and unfold at a 180-degree angle. In close combat situations, they can also function as shields.
Moreover, these wings are equipped with powerful energy shields capable of significantly reducing damage. Even if the Energy Shield is breached, it remains inconsequential since these wings are derived from the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter, which has an overall Enhancement Level of sixty points—making them reliable physical shields.
Furthermore, due to Lin Yuan's specific requirements for wings, he crafted replacements from the remaining wings of the Pterosaur H-. Should these wings be destroyed in battle, he could replace them with a new set within three minutes. In total, he created five such replacement sets! (To be continued.)
